[admin89]

JVC Japan HP-FX500 vs Meze 11 Classics Ebony Wood vs Tribeca Natural Sound Earbuds Bubinga (African Rosewood) & Maple Wood
Price : 90$ vs 95$ vs 30~35$ via Amazon . 75$ vs 112$ vs 30~35$ via Amazon.co.jp
Design :
All of them have braided cable and silicone earbuds except the JVC . JVC uses high quality rubber cable and foam earbuds instead
JVC also have 24 karat gold plated 3,5mm mini stereo plug and extension cable though it doesn't have built in mic compared to the rest
JVC driver is made from wood , Made in Japan product

Spoiler:

Performance :

_Tribeca earphones are very good at bass (Especially low bass) , the bass is very punchy and tight . The mid and high frequency sound is good . The Tribeca earphones deliver a warm , crisp and clear sound though not so much . You can listen to music for a whole day without killing your ears . I'm not kidding

_Meze 11 classics : The Bass is ok , not so tight . Meze 11 is a noise isolating earphone , you can't hear anything outside when you plug it in your ears . Mid and high frequency sound is better than the Tribeca's . However , you may hurt your ears if you listen to music for too long

_ JVC HP-FX500 : This thing is a true monster (i'm not talking a bout the bass though) . Low Frequency is good , the Mid is good as well , the high is a bit overkill to my ears ( very rich sound , may be too lively . It's like you're listening to live concerts ) . If you're audiophile , I'm sure you will love this earphone .

Conclusion
The Tribeca earphones are best bang for buck in this case . Meze 11 is overpriced crap , not worth the money . JVC HP-FX500 may not be a solid choice for bass lover but this is how music should be played

You know, this thread feels a LOT like hidden advertisment

[admin89]

How ? These earphones are not came from the same manufacturer and it's not like i'm selling them .

[Anti-Ultimate]

Still, this thread has no context at all (e.g. what made you review these earphones, why you post this, i dunno.)
The text above just reads like something a spambot would post.

I was almost going to ban him as being a spammer until I realized his nick was golden ... so yeah, this indeed looks a lot like a spammy post :p

[Anti-Ultimate]

tbh, all of his posts tend to look that way because his english isn't the best.

It's a head to head battle between wood earphone . I made this thread for that sole reason
I thought I wouldn't need to explain everything in details since these earphone (except the Tribeca) are quite popular on the internet (youtube)
Spammer ? Excuse me but no one did this before , not with wood earphone anyway. I regretted buying the Meze earbuds ...If someone made a thread like this before , I wouldn't have to waste 110$

I think you misunderstand us admin89. For me, it's just that the thread title has a similar pattern to what spammers use. There's nothing spammy about the thread itself. Perhaps if you changed the title to something like "[REVIEW]Battle of Wood Earphone", or "Head-to-Head: Battle of Wood Earphone".

Other than that, it's interesting to see your thoughts on these products. I've got a question though, how comfortable are they in your ears though? Even great audio equipment will fail if the user doesn't like to wear them, so it may be important for others to know.

I've got a question though, how comfortable are they in your ears though?

All of them are definitely better than any plastic earphone I used before : Denon AH-C360 (clear sound but no bass at all) , Denon AH-C100 (doesn't fit my ears well , sound not that great ) , Sennheiser CX 300 II (no comment) , Creative EP-630 (too bassy and lack clarity)
I hate to admit it but the Meze Earphone does sit tight on my ears but then again I don't like its sound . I'm using the Tribeca earphone atm , it's the most comfortable earphone for me at least
